Another little doll about to get it's head! Jodie has been learning how to needlesculpt the head on one of my patterns I called Jessie. She's calling it Gabby because her little girl has the same colour hair! Jodie is working on three Trolls as well - Easter presents for her children!

I'm making a new 'Krista' doll as i sold my last one and I need another one for the workshop I am giving in April. I thought I'd do a Retro style dress for her as the original doll didn't have a dress pattern.

The dress pattern took longer to design and make than the whole doll! The main thing is I had great fun making it from panels of plain and spot quilting fabric. She also has a half petticoat with cotton lace of course, and lacy knickers. Painted shoes and an appropriate wig to finish her off and -'Voila'!

A day alone today!Yay!The last week I have made three baby Trolls, and when I got one finished, my granddaughter grabbed that one and then my sister Tree the next, so I’ve just about finished my third!I wanted to complete one for my doll class to see if they wanted to make one for Easter.They turn out different each time I make one! So cute! These are Ute's Trolls of course, and don;t take long to make. You could make them crawling, sleeping, hiding - anything! They are delightful fun! Thanks Ute!
